Over the summer I have seen SO many photos of women and young women posting photos that are practically nudes all over social media.
One of the trends I hated the most was the one where the girls are sitting or kneeling with their bikini bottoms raised so high over their hips to show off their butts. I just don't need to see that. I don't care if you're wearing a bikini in public, that's whatever, but don't be posting booty pics.
Now I do consider myself a feminist, but I do not agree with this idea of women prancing around naked.
Sure, guys should control themselves and not feel the urge to want to have sex with you just because they see you naked, but I want men to respect me, for me. I have a lot to offer the world that of which does not include my body.
My body is only for my boyfriend to see.
He doesn't own me, I am not his property. I can do whatever I want. But I have respect for our relationship to not go showing off my body to other men because they might want to have sex. Now, why would I want to insight those urges in someone, when I am clearly not available for that? In addition, my boyfriend doesn't even use social media that often, so if I wanted him to see me looking sexy in a photo, I would just send it to him.
This generation is so obsessed with making everything public, but you don't have to make everything public. Some things can stay private. A revealing photo is something that should stay private because it can be such an intimate thing.
I'm not trying to bash anyone for posting their photos.
If you are generally so confident in your body, that is great! I'm glad for you. But do you have to pose half naked in order to prove that you're confident in your body? I just want you all to ask yourself if that is how you know you're confident.
